Brazil: Praia da Pipa

In EnglishPraia da Pipa is a beach town approximately 100km south of Natal, the capital and largest city of Rio Grande do Norte state. Pipa is a special place for us. While dating my wife in 2000, I took her here and we fell in love with this place ever since. In 2007, my wife and I returned to Natal and took a day trip to Pipa, still relatively a small and quiet beach town. There is this constant desire to return over the years and in 2014, just before the FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony, I returned with my family. Today, there appear to be a lot of foreigners living and working in Pipa. This is one of the place on our list to retire one day. You can get a feel of Pipa and its surrounding area from the pictures and videos below.

In EnglishYou'll find three videos below of our family trip to Pipa. The last video is my morning run from the Bicho Preguiça hotel to the Praia do Amor, down the cliff and along the Pipa beach before looping back on the main road back to the hotel. Beautiful morning run as can be seen on the video below from my GoPro strapping on my baseball cap:
